See below for some test shots; quite pleased with the detail captured, even if the butterflies were proving difficult to photograph.

Mill Hill
With the aim to test out my new Sigma 105mm EX DG macro lens, I took a brief afternoon stroll around Mill Hill today. Although there were surprisingly few butteflies on wing, I was pleased to see my first Gatekeepers of the year (4). Other species seen included: Meadow Brown (6), Marbled White (4), Red Admiral (2), Small Heath (5), and a few unidentified White Species (3).I also saw some Cinnabar moth caterpillars, a Red-tailed Bumble Bee and lots of Common Soldier Beetles.
